Before I get started, focus on getting Democrats out to vote and maybe persuading some of those “independents” to vote Democratic this fall.
Now, for some more data that demonstrates Republican voters are on the highway to Hell.
CBS Evening News Poll:
- With regards to the consequences of Trump’s child separation policy on the border, only 23% of Republicans believe it is high priority to reunite separated children and parents.
- For those entering the country illegally, 73% of Republicans believe those who do so should be punished as an example of toughness.
To say there is a “divide” between Democrats and Republican voters on immigration is like comparing the Grand Canyon to a small hole in the ground.
Some will see the 23% of Republicans in this poll as potential converts to eventual political persuasion. The equivalent of the glass is 23% full instead of 77% empty. All I can say is “Good Luck” to any who want to expend their energy and capital to persuade the 23% to maybe vote Democratic this fall.
I have family members in the 77%, by the way. And my other family members who are Democratic have been trying for decades to open their hearts and minds. It has not worked. And my Republican relatives regularly vote for their Republican Congressman Brett Guthrie. And Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul.
Get Democrats out to vote this Fall!
